Manchester Arts Commission is delighted to offer the first public showing of Brendan McCormick’s artwork in City Hall for the month of February.
The city is working on opening two emergency shelters following the evacuation of the homeless encampment on Wednesday.
As cold snaps move across the community, a local collaborative effort has launched the Manchester Winter Relief Fund. This special fund will be directed to ensure services and shelter to unhoused individuals in Manchester, New Hampshire.Â
Andrew Warner will collaborate/coordinate with Mental/Behavioral Health, substance use disorder treatment providers, harm reduction professionals, first responders and outreach teams toward preventing overdoses and deaths.
With this funding, Lincoln Avenue Capital, a firm out of Santa Monica, CA, will construct two buildings of affordable housing, one at 351 Chestnut Street, the site of the former police station, and a second replacing a parking lot across the street at the corner of Chestnut Street and Merrimack Street. Together, these projects will create approximately 142 studio, one, and two-bedroom units, affordable for individuals at 0-60 percent AMI (Area Median Income).
Everyone’s invited for light refreshments and lots of hoopla, celebrating the city’s $44M federal grant.
Visitors and community members are invited to come downtown on Oct. 28 and celebrate the fall season in New Hampshire’s largest city.
The project is slated to take about five weeks.
Participate in a “Boots on the Ground” clean-up of abandoned encampments and be part of the solution.
